Can you elaborate on the "springboard" part?

To all, what about Sun Country?

How's that Spirit stock doing? I haven't seen you guys in the news in a few weeks but it's only a matter of time before you have another gate riot, or another uprising on the plane broadcast on youtube for all to enjoy.
How is that maintenance doing over at Allegiant? I haven’t seen you guys on investigation television in a while but it’s only a matter of time before you have another....I’ll leave it there.

Have fun with your world domination and enjoy the kool aid

You do realize (and remember) within the last 3-4 months you were bashing Allegiant right? We even have exchanged PMs between the two of us discussing my time there (why I left) etc and you were supportive and completely understood why people leave. Wtf happened dude?

Im not saying peoples perceptions, thoughts, ideas and opinions can’t change. Just surprised to see it.
Oh we have our problems here for sure, but you can't deny MG is a shrewd businessman who's looking to get richer, and will grab any opportunity he sees.

I stand behind my reply to the one unsolicited private message you sent me. No I won't go out with you, I don't swing that way. Nothing personal though.

Oh geez, that's the best you've got? The union sponsored 60 minutes hit piece that was 3 years old when it broadcast 3 years ago, about an airplane we retired 3 years ago. Jeez, get some new material over there at Greyhound.

Story I heard is that Allegiant tried to buy Sunny but got outbid by the private equity firm. A lot of people seem to think that's why Jude went over there with Maury's blessing, was to bring them back with him. But yeah, that's a great example. We could buy them then trade the 737s to Alaska for their AB. I think Spirit and or Frontier is more likely soon, then AA when they go BK, just like AWA>AAA>AAL.

Wait...Wait...Wait... So, now you believe that Allegiant is going to buy Spirit, Frontier AND AA? Holy cripes! Your koolaid overdose is worse than I thought.

Nobody would have thought Budweiser Doug would be running AA back in 2003. You'd have said drink more koolaid.

I wish you and Your airline the best of luck at world domination. May your ISL’s be lengthy, complicated and bear fruit to the conqueror. All hail Allegiant!

That's good stuff. May your balls be… plentiful. May your bats be… mighty.
